Not emmy winning but...

I thought this movie was fairly good considering it was a) direct to video and b) had an unknown supporting cast. The performances were good, the effects were good and it was odd to see Carole Kane doing what she did in this movie... killing! The whole premise is kind of creepy but there's some comedy in there, so I gave it a nine out of ten.
